Lower Macungie man accused of driving into jogger, fleeing

A 57-year-old Lower Macungie man has been charged with driving into and injuring a jogger in the township and then driving away.

Kevin J. Stumpp of the 1400 block of Butternut Lane, was charged Sept. 14 with causing an accident involving death or injury and related traffic offenses, court records show.

State police at Fogelsville say Stumpp drove into Rodman R. Martinez-Diaz at Hickory Road and Mohr Circle shortly before 7 p.m. Sept. 13. Martinez-Diaz suffered head and other injuries and was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest by ambulance.

Police used the license plate number to track down Stumpp, court records say. During a Sept. 13 visit to his home, investigators saw a vehicle with front-end damage.

Police say Stumpp admitted he was the driver and that he "blinked," hit a jogger and left the scene.

Stumpp told investigators "I looked down at my radio. … I looked in my rear view mirror and it looked like he was getting up. It could have been worse," according to court records.
